Listen to me now: Stand together in peace. Look after one another, and show concern for another's needs. By eating too much, some of you have brought sickness on your bodies and ruined them, while the limbs of others, who have nothing to eat, waste away for lack of food. And you who have become old in spirit: You are already dying. Your soft living and constant doubts have brought you to this point. You are enervated by the affairs of daily life; you have fallen into lethargy: You are like old men who have given up hope of regaining strength and expect nothing but to fall asleep. But don't give up hope. Awake and repent, and you will all be quite new again.

I will be saved, and I will save.
I will be loosed, and I will loose.
I will be wounded, and I will wound.
I will be born, and I will give birth.
I will eat, and I will be eaten.
I will hear, and I will be heard.
A lamp I am to thee that dost behold me.
A mirror I am to thee that dost perceive me.
A door I am to thee that dost knock at me.
A way I am to thee, a traveler.
-Jesus, In Acts of John

How can you say you have fulfilled the law and prophets, when it is written in the law that you should love your neighbor as yourself?

The judge is judged and remains silent;
the invisible one is seen and does not hide himself;
the incomprehensible one is comprehended and does not resist;
the unmeasurable one is measured and does not struggle.
The one beyond suffering suffers and does not avenge himself;
Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God and, trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father's house. I would not tell you this if it were not true. I am going there to prepare a place for you...I will come back and take you with me so that you may be where I am going.
